1.2.1 TX3 Card Access System
The Card Access System consists of a Card Access Controller (for instance TX3-
CX-2-A), the access points, the cards, and the elevator restriction units. See LT-
980 for instructions on installing a card access system
1.2.2 Access Point (card reader)
When a user swipes a card at a card reader, the system grants access to the user
based on the access level of the card. Card readers can be wired or wireless.
Usually there is a card reader installed inside each elevator cab. The card access
system consists of the access controller, credentials, card readers, elevator
restriction cabinets and door control hardware such as strikes and maglocks. The
access controllers are typically installed in a secure room or locked cabinet. See
LT-980 for instructions on installing card readers. See LT-1160 for information
about wireless card readers.
